Whose pocket did the money for removing silt go into- Atishi
Speaking to reporters, Atishi said, "An investigation should be conducted to find out whose pocket this money went into. Did it go into the pockets of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Minister Pravesh Verma or did it go into the BJP treasury?"
